Helena M.

Helena lives in the Paynesville area. She is 42 years old and has six children between the ages of 4 and 20 years who are in school and live at home. Helena stopped her education in the 6th grade. She is married and her husband is a social worker.

For the past five years, Helena has been running a shop where she sells electronic accessories, hangers, and other items. She started this business with money that she received from her husband. A problem she faces is that sometimes customers are not available. Helena is requesting a loan to purchase more electronic accessories, hangers, and other items for her business. Her plan is to build a house for her children and to educate them.
